Participating in the Annual Meeting

All holders of the Company’s common stock or CDIs as of the Record Date are invited to virtually attend and ask questions at the Annual Meeting. To participate, you will need the unique control number that was included in your proxy materials. If your shares of common stock are held in “street name,” meaning your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, and your proxy materials do not include a control number, you should contact the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares with any questions about obtaining a control number. CDI holders should follow the instructions on page 79-80 of the proxy statement to obtain a control number. Class B Common Stockholders may also vote electronically during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions provided on the meeting website during the Annual Meeting. As in prior years, there will be no physical location for the Annual Meeting, and you will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. For more information, please see pages 79-80 of the proxy statement.
